Same tyre size, different results

[ThornOfCamorr]

Hello community.

I recently got winter tyres for my 2023 Model Y. Even though I chose the exact same dimensions as the summer tyres, the wheel‘s rim now protrudes the tyre wall (not the case on the original summer tyres).

Dimensions: 255/45 R19
Wheels summer 19“ Tesla model Y 2023 (silver)
Wheels winter 19“ Tesla model Y early 2022 (they got a black powder coat).
See pics attached.

I’d like to understand why that’s the case. I assumed that choosing the same dimensions will give me the same result. Is this the result of my tyre choice Or did Tesla change the 19“ wheels?

I went for the cheapest option available and ended up giving our family car a quite sporty look just need to be extra careful not hitting the curb….

Tyre sizes are rounded to the nearest 10mm (ending in a 5 not 0). If you have one under and one over then you notice that extreme.

Is this tire fit correct, does anyone have pictures of their Michelin cross climate 2?

255/45/R19 1. Is this normal/installed correctly? 2. Will this be a problem (e.g. mud/snow)? 3. Should I get a different size? Purchased the new CC2s for my 22 model Y, but the wheel lip sticks out. Other pictures in TMC or elsewhere seem to show the same thing.
